, which will include Mad Max (1979), The Road Warrior (1981), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and Mad Max: Fury Road on Blu-ray disc. The anthology also includes the documentary Madness of Max on DVD along with Mad Max Anthology trading cards.

Quote: Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.

People who compare any facet of a Michael Bay film to this truly don't have a clear grasp on why Michael Bay is so derided in the film community, they just think we all hate action films with big explosions. Fury Road proves there's a right way to do this kind of film.

Stupid names for most of the characters like Rictus Erectus, Toast the Knowing, Immortan Joe, et al. The guy with the fire-spewing electric guitar. Some campy scenes that have little bearing on the film or characters. The climax involving Rictus' demise... straight out of a Michael Bay film with power anthem blaring against a slow-mo shot. Barely any plot whatsoever.

"Fury Road" is an impressive technical achievement, two awesome characters, and a refreshing feminist slant. But one of the best action movies out there? Nope.
